IMPROVEMENT IN SMOKING-TUBES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,360, dated J uly 1,1873; application filed March 28, 1873.

.smoking-tube C is attached, which said tube C is lled with the tobaccoto be smoked. The plugA is provided with a ring, n, of cork or otherelastic substance, in the usual manner, to prevent the breaking of themouthpiece, and upon this elastic ring n, a tube or casing, D, isplaced, inclosingthe smoking-tube y C. This casing D has only a smallopening, 11, on its forward end, and several small holes,

s, nea-r the after end, to admit the required amount of air to the innerside and to the smoking-tube.

The tobacco filled into the smoking-tube C is first lighted, after whichthe tube or casin g D is placed over the same, whereby al1 ashesresulting from the smoked tobacco will be prevented from falling out.

Instead of the smoking-tube C a cigarmay be placed in the recess orcavity a in the plug A, and then, when the same is lit, this case Dplaced over the same, so as to prevent thereby the burnt ashes fromfalling off.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The combination, with the mouth-piece B, of the plug` A, having chambera and elastic ring n, smoking-tube C, and casing D, IwithVentilating-holes v and s s, substantially as and for the purposesherein set forth.
